Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
IV.—UNHEALTHY AREAS.
No action has been taken, as there are no unhealthy areas in
the Borough.
V.—BY-LAWS RELATING' TO HOUSES LET IN LODGINGS,
AND TO TENTS, VANS, SHEDS, ETC.
(1) Working of existing By-laws.—There are 292 registered
houses let in lodgings in the Borough, and these are inspected
yearly.
Greater difficulty has been experienced in getting the cleansing
carried out owing to the want of labour and materials, otherwise
the By-laws have worked satisfactorily.
The five occupied vans in the Borough which come under the
By-laws were found to be in such an insanitary condition that the
matter was reported to the Housing Committee, who made
Closing Orders.
(2) .45 to need for new By-laws or revision of existing Bylaws.—New
By-laws are being drafted by the 'London County
Council to be carried out by the Borough Councils.
VI.— GENERAL AND MISCELLANEOUS.
At page 32 of the general report will be found particulars of
the work done by the sanitary inspectors during the year in connection
with housing, the number of inspections made, the number
of notices served, and the nuisances found at these inspections.
